La Table Ha-Tof sur La Madeleine

This little restaurant and beer bar is the hidden gem of La Madeline. From the moment we walked through the door, we were heartily welcomed. The waitress was exceptionally friendly& kind, as was another (regular?) guest Jerome, who kindly helped us understand what was on the set menu. I had the scallops with lentils and carrots and a creamy mashed potato...the scallops were cooked to perfection. (The chef certainly knows what he is doing.) My husband had the beef entrecote with a red wine sauce, chips and salad. The meat was so tender...again a nod to the chef for his expertise. (Also on the menu was a horse steak, we didn't sample it but I saw several other guests who were impressed with it.) Desert for us was Rum Baba.. excellent!!! And the most divine chocolate desert, listed as chocolate gateaux but was more of a deliciously rich & gooey, dense chocolate tart. If you want hospitality and authentic food from northern France at its best then do not miss the opportunity to visit La Table Ha-Tof. Our only regret was that we hadn't discovered it earlier on in our stay.

Restaurant bistrot incontournable de La Madeleine. Caché en plein centre-ville, on le découvre par le bouche à oreilles. On y goûte, on y retourne. Christophe et son équipe nous y accueillent avec sourire et bonne humeur. Ce soir un plat excellent : Choucroute de la mer ( moules, haddock, saumon, lieu, etc. ) Et pour conclure un Irish maison exceptionnel. Une valeur sûre à La Madeleine. Aucune déception au cours de ces dernières années. À tous le restaurant à faire.
